The document discusses the Baroque style of art and architecture between 1600-1750. It describes Baroque as dramatic, emotional, with brighter colors and darker shadows. Baroque art was meant to appeal to emotions rather than intellect in church contexts. Examples mentioned include the Trevi Fountain in Rome, St. Peter's Basilica, and Chateaus in France such as Fontainebleau, Blois, and Chambord. The document also briefly mentions examples from other parts of Europe, Asia, and the Americas during this period.

The document profiles Peter Paul Rubens and Anthony van Dyck, the two greatest Flemish artists of the 17th century. As international figures, they painted religious works, myths, history and portraits for the Catholic Church and European royal courts. While Rubens had a broader impact as a painter, van Dyck was a highly influential portraitist, especially in England where he spent the 1630s. Both were skilled in religious themes and landscapes, though Rubens' landscapes were more accomplished. The document pays tribute to their friendship through a portrait of van Dyck painted by Rubens.

The Piazza della Signoria in Florence has been the center of the city's political life since the 14th century and was the site of important historical events like the return of the Medici family in 1530. The sculptures in the piazza, including Michelangelo's David, were chosen to convey political messages supporting or opposing the Medici. The Loggia dei Lanzi, an open-air sculpture gallery designed in 1376, houses statues like Cellini's Perseus that symbolized the fate of those who crossed the powerful Medici family.

The ruff was an item of clothing worn around the neck in 16th-17th century Europe that symbolized wealth and status. Ruffs were made of stiffened linen or lace and increased dramatically in size over the century, requiring upright posture.

It was here the Treaty of Versailles was sign, putting an end to the First World War.

Questo ciclo di lezioni in lingua inglese, prende il titolo “Un viaggio nell’arte tra l’amore sacro e profano”. In pratica viene messo a confronto il tema iconografico della Madonna con il Bambino e quello di Venere con Cupido attraverso le opere d’arte più rappresentative esposte in quattro tra i più rappresentativi musei d’Europa: The State Hermitage Museum di SanPietroburgo, il Victoria and Albert Museum di Londra, il Museo di Capodimonte di Napoli e il Museo del Prado di Madrid.
Prima di passare alla visione le singole opere d’arte, il progetto prevede un conciso cenno storico circa l’origine e la struttura dei suddetti musei. Le opere che saranno analizzate sono soprattutto dipinti, oscillanti cronologicamente tra l’XI e il XIX secolo, ma non mancherà la descrizione anche di oggetti d’arte di diversa tipologia (sculture, bronzi, arti applicate, etc.). Per ogni opera esaminata, prima della sua descrizione si procederà con una breve introduzione biografica dell’autore.
The document provides information on important artists and works from Italy, Flanders, and Germany in the 15th century before the Protestant Reformation, including Jan van Eyck, Hubert van Eyck, Duccio, Piero della Francesca, Mantegna, Botticelli, Leonardo da Vinci, Bosch, and Dürer. It summarizes their major paintings and discusses the development of oil painting, linear perspective, printing, and other artistic innovations during this period.
The document discusses the genre of "Collector's Cabinets in Painting" which depicts art and curiosity collections. Frans Francken the Younger and Jan Brueghel the Elder were the first to create such paintings in the 1620s, showing large rooms displaying numerous paintings and precious items. Early works also included scientific instruments and natural specimens alongside the art. Some paintings portrayed the owners of the collections or artists working. The genre became immediately popular and was emulated by other artists such as Jan Brueghel the Younger, Cornelis de Baellieur, and David Teniers the Younger.

This document discusses the origins of public sculpture in Britain. It challenges the traditional view that public sculpture did not emerge until the 17th century, after the Renaissance influence from Italy. The document provides evidence that some sculptures from the Elizabethan period could be seen from public roads and highways, and therefore counts as early forms of public sculpture. It examines the sculptures at Nonsuch Palace as an example that, while privately owned, would have been visible to the public passing by. The document argues for pushing back the origins of public sculpture in Britain earlier than traditionally thought.
